Chapter Summaries

Qin Shaofeng won his first Grand Selection match with the Lightning Jade Spiral Pill, then used the time before his next match to try cultivating the Pill Realm. When the hour ended, he entered a second match against a ninth-level Earth Saint and judged the opponent an easy challenge.

• Qin Shaofeng severely wounded Fatty with the Lightning Jade Spiral Pill and killed him with a Silver Light Saber Aura, winning his first match and earning rank 358.
• Qin Shaofeng chose to cultivate his Pill Realm rather than immediately enter another match, reflecting on its power and the Saint-grade Five-star requirements of the Pill Scripture.
• Qin Shaofeng repeatedly failed to condense the Pill Realm because his Saint Origin Power erupted into a berserk state.
• After the first match's one-hour limit ended, Qin Shaofeng entered a second match and found that his opponent was only at the ninth level of the Earth Saint-tier.

Qin Shaofeng spent more than twenty days cultivating the embryonic Pill Realm while steadily winning matches, then decided to raise his rank before the first month ended so he could keep his independent Cultivation Room. He began a new winning streak against a boastful opponent and left the Vast Sky Realm still pursuing the top ranks and a thousand consecutive victories.

• Qin Shaofeng saw that his second victory had left him ranked 9,524, then noticed the leader had already won 97 matches in a row.

Qin Shaofeng continued his winning streak in the Vast Sky Realm, defeating increasingly powerful opponents until a Divine Mansion youth ambushed him with a mental attack. Qin Shaofeng countered with Tsukuyomi and won, but the technique drained most of his Mental Power, forcing him to leave the Vast Sky Realm to recover.

• Qin Shaofeng quickly defeated opponents in successive matches and continued winning after passing 300 victories, even against powerful Heavenly Saint-tier contestants.
• Qin Shaofeng encountered a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old ninth-level Heavenly Saint-tier disciple of the Divine Mansion who recognized that he had over a hundred million Saint Origin Value.

• Qin Shaofeng opened his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and used Tsukuyomi, causing the youth's attack to backfire and leaving him screaming in pain.
• Qin Shaofeng defeated the youth with a Silver Light Saber Aura, then left the Vast Sky Realm to take pills and restore his depleted Mental Power.

Qin Shaofeng cautiously extended his winning streak while cultivating the Pill Realm, eventually completing its First Heaven Domain after more than two months. Its powerful effects and lack of Saint Origin Power consumption convinced him he could secure first place in the selection.

• Onlookers expected Miao Qingyun to end Qin Shaofeng's winning streak, but their match had not yet begun.

Qin Shaofeng faced Miao Qingyun in his 991st consecutive victory and defeated him with a series of lightning techniques, Thousand Mountain Fist, and a sudden Silver Light Saber Aura.

• The Divine Prefecture Grand Selection ended with Qin Shaofeng recording 10,130 wins, no losses, and first place; he regretted not meeting Hou Yanqing.

After winning the Divine Prefecture Grand Selection, Qin Shaofeng examined his new peak Heavenly Saint-tier status and weighed whether to use a Quest Elimination Card to skip the next Extreme Upgrade Mission. He decided to wait until after the Baptism Holy Pool, then spent five Skill Points to evolve his Sharingan into the Rinnegan.

• Qin Shaofeng reviewed his Attribute Interface and confirmed that the Grand Selection quest had raised him to Heavenly Saint-tier Tenth Level, the peak of the Middle Three Ranks.

• Qin Shaofeng entered the Baptism Holy Pool after the Saint King warned everyone to focus on improving their spiritual roots rather than their cultivation.
• A Saint King expert led Qin Shaofeng through the formations protecting the pool’s central region, where only a handful of people could enter each century.
• Qin Shaofeng immersed himself in the pale-gold water but did not know how to use the Baptism Power until Qiuqiu reminded him of the 108 Forms of Yoga.
• Qin Shaofeng smoothly performed the thirty-seventh form in the central pool, breaking through and advancing his spiritual root.

Qin Shaofeng emerged from the Baptism Holy Pool after three days of cultivation, raising his 108 Forms of Yoga to the sixtieth form and his Dark Thunder Body to a peak Sixth-grade Saint Grade Spiritual Root.
